Iceland is an island nation that is home to the world's northernmost capital city, Reykjavik. About 11 percent of the country is covered in glacial ice and surrounded by water. Iceland is located between the North Atlantic Ocean and the Greenland Sea. The land is a plateau with mountains, ice fields, and a coastline marked by fjords, which are deep inlets carved by glaciers. It is full of amazing nature, unique flora, and fauna, including streams, waterfalls, lakes, thermal pools, and more. The island is also shrouded in many mysteries with trolls, elves, and other mythical characters and creatures. Icelanders take care to preserve their traditions and language, and they are generally very nice and kind to tourists.
